An Weekend Cruise From Palm Beach to the Bahamas
Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line operates just two ships— Grand Celebration and Grand Classica— out of the Port of Palm Beach, located just north of downtown West Palm Beach in an area formally known as Riviera Beach. Not a lot of people know about it, even in Florida, but it’s the perfect way to pack more into your vacation. The cruise line has year-round daily sailings between Florida and the Bahamas.
The sailings are typically two-night/three-day cruises, which makes it easy to just take off on a vacation when you need one. You can leave on a Friday and be back by Sunday morning (and not even have to take a day off of work !).
Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line offers super chill and easygoing cruises between two amazing tropical vacation destinations , and it allows you to maximize your time in the Sunshine State by exploring another destination during just a short stint away from your first vacation. It’s kind of like a vacation within a vacation , and who wouldn’t want that?
Where Does Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line Go?
Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line sails between West Palm Beach and the Bahamas and docks in Freeport (Grand Bahama Island). While docked in port, you can opt to explore on your own or book an excursion to help you make the most of your time in the islands.
Another perk of Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line is the fact that, if you prefer, you can extend your trip by staying over in the Bahamas for a couple of nights and then coming back on a different sailing. This is something that few other cruise lines offer (if any), and it’s a nice way to spend a little extra time in the Bahamas while still enjoying a cruise vacation on either end. You can book the four-night vacation option directly on the Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line site and choose between a few different hotel options, including some all-inclusives.
How Much Is Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line?
This is perhaps the biggest draw of Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line: it’s affordable. And sometimes, if you’re lucky, you might even find a Groupon for the cruise, and then it’s even cheaper.
Plus, everything’s included in the price, as on most cruises: food and drink won’t cost you unless you pay extra for the upgrade restaurants or purchase an alcoholic drink package (which I recommend doing if you’re going to have more than one or two piña coladas on the cruise). And I also recommend at least one meal at The Rock Grill, a super fun dining experience where you cook your own meal on 1000-degree lava rocks brought to your table!
The cruise is usually around $150 or less for a 2-night/3-day jaunt to the Bahamas. They also offer regular deals and promotions like flash sales (I’ve seen $59 per person, per night!) and even “kids sail free” promos (they have three separate kids clubs onboard). They also offer perks for solo cruisers , so don’t write off the cruise if you can’t find a travel buddy or if you just need a little “me” time.
They even offer monthly Ladies Night cruises, which is $49 per lady with packages available that include drink coupons, spa discounts, VIP perks and other treats.
Through July 31, 2019, Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line has brought back their Triple Play promotion: $129 per person for all staterooms plus perks like five free drinks, a $25 onboard credit and $50 casino match play. Am I doing my math wrong, or do the perks just about cover the cost of the cruise?!
Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line Experience
Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line isn’t a luxury cruise line and the ships aren’t the latest and greatest state-of-the-art types with all the newest bells and whistles (so don’t go in with those kinds of expectations!).
What you will find is a laidback, no-frills way to spend a couple of days away from your cares, the ideal place to take a break from the real world and spend some time in the Bahamas. And for the price, you really can’t beat it…try to visit the Bahamas for less, I dare you!
The actual visit to the Bahamas is short—you only have from the time the ship docks in the morning til you have to be back on board again in the afternoon—but sometimes, that’s all you need for a total reset. You’ll sail back into port the next day feeling like you got a nice break from reality for a bit.
The cruises are also pretty versatile. While the party goes all night at the casino and bar areas, you can also get away from it all and have a relaxed time aboard the ship. There’s onboard entertainment and shows , a casino , bars and poolside parties on the sun deck , but there’s also a spa and salon , fitness center, and a little shopping—or you can just enjoy the view from your room !
Whether you want an action-packed, no-sleep kind of trip or a soothing time with endless sea surrounding you to dissolve your stresses away, you can find what you’re looking for on a Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line ship.
What’s The Difference Between Grand Classica & Grand Celebration ?
There are two ships in the Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line fleet: Grand Classica and Grand Celebration .
There aren’t many differences between the two different Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line ships. Their restaurants vary slightly—they have a few of the same restaurants but some different ones—but overall, the vibe is very similar and one isn’t better than the other. I wouldn’t pick a cruise based on the ship because they’re so similar.
I’ve been on both, but if I had to pick one to go on again, I think it would be Grand Celebration . I think it’s the original (and thus older) ship, but for some reason, the vibe flowed better for me and I liked its selection of restaurants.

We just returned from the Margaritaville cruise. It was so much fun! It had the same laid back and relaxing vibe of the Margaritaville Resort that we visited last year. The price is great so we will be back!
Nice Little Cruise
Posted by Randy Summers on Jan 5th 2016
The Grand Celebration is quite-a-step up from the old Celebration cruise. It's much larger and much newer. We like this little cruise and have also taken the cruise & stay package, combining 2 nights at the Viva resort in the Bahamas...great deal!

Why take a Bahamas Day Trip?

Both places had European explorers land on their shores. Columbus landed at the Bahamas and declared it “ Baja Mar ” or shallow waters.
The British Loyalists left America to settle on the islands of the Bahamas. Pirates, smuggling, rum running all add to the colorful history. You will find evidence of their history in museums, plantation ruins, historic sites such as the Mt. Alvernia Hermitage, colonial architecture and in stories passed down from generation to generation. Famous Americans such as Ernest Hemmingway, Martin Luther King, Jr. and others made their mark on the Bahamas. Other celebrities are direct descendants of the Bahamas such as Sydney Portier, Lenny Kravitz, Al Roker and many athletes and musicians. The Bahamas have a rich history and heritage they are proud to share. A West Palm Beach Bahamas cruise will open up this world of history and heritage to you.

3. Culture, Cuisine & Celebrations
As you can imagine, the beliefs and mores of the locals determine the culture.

A great convenience for Americans is English is the official language, so there will be no barriers there. Bahamas accepts the U.S. currency.

However, a trip by plane gives you access to more of the Bahamas Out Islands.
What is a Bahamas Day Trip?
A day trip to Bahamas from West Palm Beach is just that, a trip to another place that you could take in only one day. The proximity of the Bahamas to the U.S. makes it possible to get an international experience in a one day visit.
Bahamas Air Tours offer Palm Beach charter flights from several southern Florida locales including West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Vero Beach and Orlando. You are not constricted to just one port as you are with the Palm Beach to Bahamas ferry. You can also take a Palm Beach cruise to Bahamas, but your journey will be more than one day, most of it at sea, and only one day in a tourist center of Bahamas. Not only do you have more options, but a Bahamas cruise by plane will save you time over that of a day cruise to Bahamas from West Palm Beach. Experience the stunning beaches, enjoy the exciting boat excursions, swim with pigs, snorkel with turtles, encounter stingrays and sharks – this is the authentic Bahamas Out Island experience. From business travelers with an extra day to romantic couples to families and groups, a Bahamas day trip is ideal for a one day visit to a tropical island.

WHY IT RATES: Sea Cloud Cruises is offering a new round-trip Miami itinerary for 2025, allowing travelers to enjoy a fun private yacht-style cruise onboard a brand-new, three-masted ship unlike any other. — Lacey Pfalz, Associate Writer, TravelPulse
Yesterday, Sea Cloud Cruises , one of the world's most storied names in cruise travel, celebrated the inaugural call of Sea Cloud Spirit at Nassau Cruise Port. Joining Sea Cloud Cruises President Mirell Reyes for a ceremonial plaque exchange were Islands of The Bahamas officials and tourism industry leaders including Deputy Prime Minister Chester Cooper. Sea Cloud Spirit is currently embarking on an immersive Bahamas sailing Nassau roundtrip March 4-12 that will call on boutique ports including the Exumas and Eleuthera. The current sailing’s Special Guest Lecturer Les Standiford was in attendance and shared details on a special 2025 voyage featuring his passions of Florida, Brightline and The Bahamas.

Hutton and Marjorie Merriweather Post. Standiford will share stories and tales of Henry Flagler and Marjorie Merriweather Post throughout the journey which includes stops in Miami, Eleuthera, the Exumas, Key West and multiple days under full sail.
“Our guests are continually enamored with the earliest chapter of Sea Cloud’s history and there is no more charming expert and storyteller of this golden age than Les Standiford,” said Sea Cloud Cruises President Mirell Reyes. “We are delighted to welcome him once again as we feature The Breakers, Brightline and The Bahamas for an exclusive travel experience with limited availability.”
Brightline is the new train system on the same corridor as the Florida East Coast Railway in Standiford’s book “The Last Train to Paradise,” seamlessly connecting travelers to top major events and destinations between Central and South Florida. Guests reserving the exclusive pre-cruise stay at The Breakers can experience PREMIUM service enroute to Brightline MiamiCentral and PortMiami to board Sea Cloud Spirit .
“Brightline’s PREMIUM service is the ultimate experience for discerning travelers to combine a pre-or post-cruise luxury hotel resort in Central or South Florida,” shared Brightline’s SVP Partnerships and Sales Johanna Rojas. “We look forward to welcoming guests before they board Sea Cloud Spirit on this unique itinerary and encourage all cruisers to make Brightline PREMIUM a part of their vacation.”
Les Standiford is a New York Times Bestselling author of 25 books and novels and a distinguished university professor and founding director of the creative writing program at Florida International University.
On each of the three sailing yachts comprising the Sea Cloud Cruises fleet, the sails are still traditionally hoisted by hand – an impressive and stunning job every time. There are no buttons that can simply be pressed and it takes almost a full hour until all sails catch the wind. Each voyage includes at least one day under full sail, a highlight of the Sea Cloud Cruises experience.
Sea Cloud Cruises sailings offer a well-balanced mix of authentic sailing experiences and unique discoveries ashore. With paramount courteousness and consideration, the crew creates a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere combined with impeccable service.
